This book contains stories from busy women who manage business, careers, families, and homes. The stories tell how they manage to stay organized and not go nuts. One of the main ideas in the book is that you can be organized without being perfectly organized.

Very few busy people can be perfectly organized in all aspects of their lives. They may have neat living rooms but the bedrooms are disaster areas. Or they may have an exceptionally well organized office but their home is messy. This book is about being organized enough. And just enough.

We all have better things to do than go around organizing everything in our homes perfectly. The stories in this book will convince you that it is ok not to be perfect. As long as you can find what you need then it is good enough.

There are many idea for how to make things easier as well. Such as taking just 10 minutes to clear a spot in your house every day. If you do that then clutter won’t accumulate as much. I also liked the Taming Those Toy Tsunamis chapter. One of the ideas in there is to keep them all in one room. It goes for grown up toys too!

This is a really good book and anyone who has problems with organization or perfectionism would get a lot out of reading it.

I won a copy of this book over on Pretty Opinionated back in March. Go visit and enter a few giveaways while you are there.

The only system I’ve ever been able to use with any sort of success is FLYlady. And that success is not very measurable. I have always struggled with staying focused and since the bipolar diagnosis and resulting medication additions, it’s even more of a challenge.

Thank you for visiting my blog and stumbling my post. I was glad to share this one with others by giving it a Stumble, too. And it’s always nice to find another Wheel of Time fan. I’m currently in probably, at least, my 20th re-reading of the entire series. I get to the end and start again while throwing other books in between.

I so need some decluttering help. The taking 10 minutes tip is a good one that seems manageable. I am visiting from the Stop and Stumble and have stumbled this post. If you have a chance and can stumble http://www.messforless.net/2011/09/color-drop-game.html that would be great.
